editmoin now talks to moin 1.6

editmoin 1.8 was just released, including support for moin 1.6, submitted by both David I. Lehn and Daniele Favara, and URL aliases, as suggested by Diogo Matsubara.

One interesting thing I should mention is that Daniele has sent me a reference to a Bazaar branch containing the change. It’s the first time I receive a bzr (as it’s also known) branch when the upstream project is using a different RCS (Subversion).

Nope. My plan was always to migrate the full history, branches, and tags, to bzr, once it started to support tags. That’s why I implemented svn2bzr, and also the tentative tags support patch back in October of 2005 or so. Unfortunately, the patch wasn’t merged, nor was any other alternative support.

Hopefully, that’s getting to an end now, as Martin said last week that the support is coming. At the same time, he told me the same thing in UBZ last year, so I’ll be holding my breath, but not for long. ;-)
